The com- plaints of that season, which are cholera infantum, colic diahoea and elyeentry, come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid be- fore the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be en her guard to pre- vent these troubles, or if they do come on suddenly to banish them. No other medioine is of such aid to -mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate company by telling fortunes with the stomach and hrwels and are ab- cards. When Mrs. Smith's turn came solutely safe. Sold by medicine she listened in amazement to secrets dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box which onlyone woman knew—fresh from The Dr. WiIliatns' Medicine Co., I from the Brockville, Ont. I genc y% card filling index eYatent. work I invariably find that a woman is able to clear up a case in much less time than a 'man. 'She has more tact, quicker . perception and an equally vivid imagination. Of course they are not able tq shadow a crim- inal. A woman cannot stand in one place without attracting attention to herself, and she hasn't the same physical endurance. Miss West told of a recent case in which a wife had run away from her husband. A. woman detective ascer- tained that she had a confidential friend who lived on the Continent. Going abroad, she became this wo- man's bosom confidante. One day she led the conversation to the dis- appearance of Mrs. Smith and ob- tained the address at which she was living in England, in a private hotel. Another woman detective went as a guest to the. hotel and amused the KEEP IMPLEMENTS UNDER I', COVER If one travels through the countr at the present time, the haying an 'harvesting machinery. on many farm may 'be seen- standing in the fiel where last used. It may have bee drawn out into the lane somewher or may even be at the barn but no 'inside it. In the Prairie Provinces there seems to be a sort of reckless _abandon regarding the use of ma chinery. When a binder breaks down it is often drawn off to one side of the field and forsaken when it could be easily repaired and made to serve for a. season or two longer. The prices of all kinds of farm implements have gone up and it is poor business to neglect the machin- ery by leaving it exposed to the weather. The wooden parts soon rot away and the metal parts rust out. It takes longer also to get a rusty implement into working order again. It is frequently stated that the farmer is and must be to -day more of a business man than formerly. Men in other lines of business where machinery is employed see that it is oiled and properly cared for in order to keep down production costs. The farmer should do the same. When he pays the price that he has to pay to -day for machinery he should take good care of it. Cost of production can be reduced in this way, which means increased profits. Try it. WOMEN DETECTIVES SHINE IN LONDON "Marvellous, Dr. Holmes, but I do not yet understand how you discov- ered the murder." "Really, Watson, at times you make me despair," the groat detective re- plied, as she-wisked on her evening gloves. "The murderer is one of my best friends. She told me every- thing, at tea." The detective story of the future will read like this, according to the predictions of officials of one of Lon- don's noted privlate detectives agen- cies, whose success is employing women detectives has raised the question: Are women cleverer de- tectives than men? Is the legendary Holmes, smoking his pipe in the firelight of a Baker street flat, in temper a misogynist and inexorably following out the cold, dry processes of his reasoning, to the dismay of the underworld, to be supplemented by the figure of a brisk, attractive young lady who de- tects a criminal as she would a bad dancer. London, home of Sherlock Holmes, calmly faces these questions at the present moment, owing to the recent achiebemienta of the agency which has unraveled a number of enigtmas which has baffled some of the lead- ing criminologists of Europe. A girl detective, aged seventeen, has far surpassed the feats of the detective story heroes, or, for that matter of Scotland Yard. In a recent divorce case she knew more of the complica- tion than either respondent or cor- respondent. In, lest than a fortnight elite solved the problem of a series of thefts in a London college, which had stumped a male investigator for three months. Disguised 'as a student, she ferreted out -the thief and the hiding place of the stolen goods. In every stage of the case she was aided by a team of women detectives. The agency for which she works eiriploys men, but the bulk of the work—all of it except the unpleasant task of shadowing—is performed by the '.girl detectives. 'Miss Maud West, chief ' of the agency and one of London's beat !known criminal investigation experts is an advocate of the theory that woman, gifted with intuition, is en- dowed with a finer sort of detective ability than man. "I erapploy women," said Miss West, "in every investigation requiring subtely, craft, guesswork, diplomatic conversation or ,plain common sense. In cases demanding patient shadow- ing, or strict adherence to tradition, I use men. r'An the finer and more delicate I Quite obviously no man could have r:•oceed'ed by this simple and direct r; ute. In tc ad, acting on scientific j y principles, and proceeding by clues, d he would have had to follow Mrs. s Smith from hotel to hotel, city to d city. employing an army of watchers • and spies who would have been con- o staidly exposed to physical danger, t . heat and cold. I As to the other type of male de- tective, the deductive type who sits by the fireside and, monchalanty in- haling the smoke from his sneer - schism's, solves murders and finds l.recious necklaces, Miss West, is in- : • dried to think he doesn't exist, and that he is the creation of highly ro- • mantic minds outside the detective business. "Do you never read detective stories'?" I asked. "Never," she replied. "No detec- tive does. It never is the reflective fireside type of detectives who does anything really, while the one who employs unromantic common sense methods is successful. Not a girl in this agency would solve a case ifshe followed fiction methods." The truth is, according to Miss West, that theories are of little value in the detective's business, while conimon sense is valuable.. I NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE ' A Brazilian state will employ Am- ; erican experts in cotton, grain, fruit and tobacco culture, a veterinarian and a dairyman as travelling teachers. Its inventor has patented a tray • for carrying a dozen filled ice cream cones, having a receptacle in the cen- ter to hold other eatables if desired. A, Italian alloy of zinc and copper is claimed to have greater strength and snore elasticity than steel and to resist corrosion better than copper. A new crib in which babies can be safely carried in automobiles is equipped with folding legs to hold it at the usual level when removed from a car. With a capacity of 25 tons a day, a new machine shreds cotton rags into waste for wiping machinery or will mix the shredded rags And cotton mill waste. An electric room heater of the cop- per reflector type and a fan have been so combined on a single base that the fan distributes the warmed air thoroughly. An easily manipulated color chart has been invented by a New York woman to aid amateurs in selecting color combinations for decorating rooms. PAINFUL NEURALGIA TORTURING SCIATICA Both Come From the Same Cause -Thin, Watery Blood.. Most people think of neuralgia as a pain in the head or face, but neu- ralgia may affect any nerve in the body. Different names are given to it when it affects certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the sciatic nerve is called sciatica, but the character of the pain and the nature of the dis- ease are the same. The pain in neu- ralgia is caused by starved nerves. The blood which carries nouyith- men't to the nerves has become thin and impureand no longer does so, and the pain you feel is the cry of the nerves for their natural food. You may ease the pains of neuralgia with hot applications, but real relief from the trouble comes by enriching and 'purifying the blood. For this purpose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are strongly recommended. These pills make new, rich blood and thus act as a most effective nerve tonic. If you are suffering from this most dreaded of troubles, or any form of nerve trouble, give these pills a fair trial, and note the ease and comfort that follows their use. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from any medicine dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont, I Handicapped Wolf Almost Sec. ceeded in Escaping. • i Running on Three Lege and Dragging Trap Which Had Been His Undo- ing. Animal Was Killed When Almost In Safety, • "In the summer o- f 1882," says a westerner, "my parents moved from Iowa to the new'. county of Hand In South Dakota._ The railway had bees completed as far as Pierre, but Wert were few stations, and at Ree Heights, whery we got off the train, there was only a rough platform madeof planks, and a box car in which the agent lived. "The last of the buffalo had been killed or driven off and the prairie was covered with the skeletons of these animals. "The county was alive with wolves and coyotes; they were nearly as et -mutton as domestic animals are now. On almost any morning from One to a dozen could be seen from the door of our little 'claim shanty.' "My father bought six wolf traps about the first of December, and dur- ing that month we caught more than forty coyotes within a short distance of our home, many of them within a few yards of the house. One morning we had the novel experience of finding a full-grown coyote In one of the traps, caught by the jail, "Another morning we came back and reported that the chain had been broken and one of the traps was gone. The tracks indicated that something larger than a coyote had been taken. When father had finished the chores that morning he mounted Roger, one of the two horses that we then owned, and, I tjtkInE bo a d old Step Iv t him, Tt r{ed ouT on The troll, be- lieving that It would not be hard to overtake a wolf carrying a trap. "But that wolf, either from instinct or because he feared he would be fol- lowed, made direct for a range of hills a mile or so to the south. "As soon as they were near enough old Shep took a hand In the chase. Shep was a big black shepherd dog that ttad fopght many a coyote, but he Was Coo wise to risk ii battle with the fierce -looking beast that was carrying the trap—for It was a big white buf- falo wolf, an animal that could kill an ordinary dog In a few minutes. "The wolf had to run on three legs, holding up one of his front feet and carrying the trap. Shap would run up and attack him from behind, and when the wolf turned to give battle the dog would retreat. They kept up this running fight for more than a mile. "The wolf knew that a crisis had arrived and ran for his life. With both horse and wolf running their level best, parallel with each other and about four or live rods apart, fa- ther tired the only load he had from his old single -barreled muzzle.loading shotgun, and the wolf fell, 14 BB shot having passed through his body. The race 'ended just as the next snow bunk, which might have meant safety for him, was reached." Hollow Bricks In England. A new brick that has repently been introduced in England Is nearly five times as large as an ordinary brick, but in comparison is much less heavy and Is easily handled. The lighter weight results from the hollowing out of the brick to provide air layers. By the shaping of the ends the existence of joints running ail the way through the wall Is avoided. The brick is, as a rule, made of one part of cement and four parts sand by simple hand machinery. Three men can make enough bricks In a day to build 400 to 500 square feet of .wall. A further economy is effected by the manner of laying the walls, inasmuch as the ends and bottoms of the bricks need only he dipped In a thin lime mortar mixed with a small amount of cement. If laid In the usual`way the air channels In the bricks would become' filled.— Scientific American. Biggest Man in Africa. Compared with Patrick O'Connor, Albert Brough, who died a short time ago, and, who owing to his seven feet seven inches, was reported to be the tallest man in the world, was a mid- get. O'Connor, who is at present in South Africa, is stated to be the big- gest man on earth, a veritable modern Hercules. O'Connor is almost eight feet high, and a person six feet six Inches high, can walk beneath Itis arms when outstretched horizontally. He has a chest measurement of 55 Inches and weighs 375 pounds, while the ring which adorns the index finger of his right hand is so large that a 50 -cent piece can pass easily through It.
